Riedel Vinum XL Riesling Grand Cru Glass, Set of 2

Wow, just wow! For years I had the Robert Mondavi Cabernet glasses by Waterford Crystal and didn't think there was any way in the word those could be topped. Well, I ended up breaking both of them (sadly!) and happened upon these majestic beauties. Five words for that: I should've broken the other ones sooner! There is a method to handling crystal glasses and most of you already know all of that. Suffice it to say that if you don't torque on the stem or base whilst washing and use two towels to dry, you should be golden. I bought four of these glasses weeks ago and I am still using the first glass I took out of the box and I drink every night, so there. (knocks on wood!) . EDIT: February 5, 2022. I came back to this review because I'm buying a pair for a friend. These beauties are still holding up wonderfully without any issues. They are wine royalty in every sense of the word!

I quattro calici esatti sono veramente belli, ideali per un vino rosso importante, peccato l'errore nella spedizione. Anche gli altri bicchieri erano belli, ma a me servivano 8 pezzi da rosso.

Benchmark glasses for wine lovers. Handle carefully and just use warm water and a good cloth to keep tip top

I love the Vinum XL line. Great quality like everything Riedel does.

Love them! I knew how big they should be when I ordered but still wasn't prepared for how large they are in reality! Only concern is washing them given how potentially delicate they appear. Certainly not going in the dishwasher. As a box set at this price they are good value per glass.
